Chapter 592
What are you busy with?
Jiang Nian finally made a decision.
There might be someone behind the scenes watching Wang Ba in the hospital in the border town.
His condition was unclear, and he couldn't remain unconscious indefinitely. So Jiang Nian made this decision without hesitation.
He Chenguang and the others had no objections to his arrangements, and even Wei Zixuan didn't say anything.
Are you kidding me? Jiang Nian was about to send the person to the military hospital, how could he possibly snatch the person away from the military?
Since no one had any objections, Jiang Nian quickly contacted Fan Tianlei and briefly explained the situation.
Two hours later, the military vehicle arrived at the hospital.
Jiang Nian left with the military vehicle.
Jiang Nian breathed a sigh of relief after Wang Ba was taken to the military hospital.
At least here, even if Wang Ba is still unconscious, his safety is guaranteed, and no one will die.
Jiang Nian went to Gao Shiwei's office.
"Comrade Jiang Nian, you've actually completed this mission. I've also heard about the military factory situation; the Red Cell Squad alone couldn't have handled it. Tell me honestly, what are your plans?"
Gao Shiwei had been closely monitoring Jiang Nian's every move during this mission.
When Jiang Nian brought Wang Ba to the naval base, he thought the matter was almost over and Jiang Nian should return to the military region.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yanbing and his team made a new discovery.
When the news about the military factory came out, Gao Shiwei and his team were also taken aback.
It's terrifying to think that such a large military factory was hidden in a place like the border town, and that these high-ranking military officials were completely unaware of it.
How can a military factory hidden underground in a border town be able to produce secret weapons for several powerful countries?
This indicates that the forces behind this military factory are definitely not simple, and may even be spread across several countries.
Gao Shiwei couldn't guarantee that China didn't have such spies, but he was certain that other countries certainly had plenty of them.
If Jiang Nian and his team hadn't unearthed so much during this mission, how much harm would that military factory have brought to China? Just thinking about it sent chills down Gao Shiwei's spine.
Now that the military factory has been exposed, regardless of whether the person behind it is Wang Ba or not, this matter has escalated to a very high level, and it is not something that the Red Cell Squad can handle.
Gao Shiwei had discussed this matter with Fan Tianlei before. Jiang Nian and his group had to withdraw immediately, and the military factory had to be taken over by the military.
Although Jiang Nian returned on her own initiative because Wang Ba was in a coma, Gao Shiwei still felt relieved.
At least, I don't have to worry about Jiang Nian's safety all the time anymore.
"I drugged Wang Ba, intending to keep him under control and then infiltrate the military factory to uncover some of its secrets. But this time, I was careless. Wang Yanbing and his men were discovered and arrested by Wang Ba's men. I was in a hurry to make sure they were safe, so I didn't keep an eye on Wang Ba and Zhou Zhou's movements, which is why Wang Ba is now unconscious. This military factory holds too many secrets. I suggest that the military refrain from interfering for the time being."
Seeing Gao Shiwei's solemn expression, Jiang Nian hesitated for a moment before finally speaking her mind.
His ideas were completely on a different wavelength from Gao Shiwei's.
“Although Zhou Zhou knows I’m with the military, he only knows that I appeared with Wang Ba. He’s only seen He Chenguang and the other three with me at most. The five of us aren’t much of a threat to Zhou Zhou, so I think I still have a chance to dig out some other clues from him.”
If the military were to take over the military factories in a high-profile manner, the people behind the scenes would most likely destroy some of the information they wanted.
Those secrets were the most important thing to them.
In this situation, Jiang Nian felt that alerting the enemy was not a good idea.
After sitting down and taking a sip of water, Jiang Nian slowly explained his thoughts.
He knew that this matter had now become a very serious issue.
But most importantly, what they wanted was the secret hidden in this arms factory—at least to find out how many spies the people behind it had sent to other countries, and how they had obtained the blueprints for those state-secret weapons.
Without precise blueprints, the military factory would never have been able to produce weapons exactly like the original.
More importantly, where did the materials used to manufacture weapons come from?
This is a complete industrial chain; any movement of it affects the whole industry.
Therefore, all these things need to be arranged before the military actually takes action.
After listening to Jiang Nian's explanation, Gao Shiwei didn't rush to speak, but silently pondered Jiang Nian's words.
He admitted that Jiang Nian made a good point.
They really wanted to get their hands on the most crucial secrets of this military factory.
But as Jiang Nian said, if the military forces their way in, those classified documents will definitely be destroyed, and they will get nothing.
Thinking about this, Gao Shiwei also felt a bit of a headache.
He was extremely worried about letting Jiang Nian and his team continue the mission. But as Jiang Nian said, with only five of them, Zhou Zhou probably wouldn't think anything of it.
If the military gets involved, the other side will only become more wary.
Once the secrets in the military factory are destroyed, they will never have another chance.
This is a dilemma for Gao Shiwei. He's really caught in a bind.
"Who do you think is behind Wang Ba?"
After a long silence, Gao Shiwei changed the subject, not wanting to talk about the problem that was giving him a headache for the time being.
Gao Shiwei's question surprised Jiang Nian.
To be honest, the progress of this mission has exceeded Jiang Nian's expectations.
If you ask him to guess now, he really can't figure it out.
“Isn’t that deal with Japan still under negotiation? Let’s leak a little information that Wang Ba accidentally exposed his identity on his way back after completing the deal and was arrested by the Chinese military.”
Jiang Nian pondered the matter carefully for a while before bringing it up.
A string of question marks appeared above Gao Shiwei's head.
He didn't understand why Jiang Nian changed the subject faster than he did.
"Didn't you say you didn't want the military to get involved? Why are you now trying to leak information to Japan?"
Gao Shiwei really couldn't understand it.
Although Jiang Nian is not very old, his meticulousness in thinking about problems is even better than mine.
It seems that the younger generation in China is truly beginning to take on important responsibilities.
"First, leak the news to Japan, then spread some other rumors, saying that Wang Ba seems to have been rescued. Let others figure out what really happened in between."
Jiang Nian laughed.
There must be people in Japan who have dealings with the military factory, but they definitely haven't gotten any specific information about Wang Ba yet. Otherwise, Japan's attitude would have changed long ago, and they wouldn't still be negotiating with China to try and salvage the batch of weapons that sank to the bottom of the sea.
The news of Wang Ba will surely cause a stir once it gets out.
With the arms tycoon arrested by the Chinese military, countries that wanted to do business with Wang Ba will have to reconsider. After all, the quality of goods produced by Wang Ba is unquestionable; he has everything one could need. To rescue Wang Ba, or to find out his whereabouts, some spies will definitely have to get moving.
In this way, we can also find something to do and clean up those hidden spies.
After a moment's thought, Gao Shiwei understood what Jiang Nian meant.
He shook his head, inwardly marveling at how quick Jiang Nian's mind worked.
Only by stirring up this mess can Jiang Nian and his group take advantage of the chaos.
"I'll give instructions to those in Japan to get the information out as soon as possible. But you need to be careful with the military factory. Even if you don't get those classified documents in the end, your safety must be guaranteed."
Gao Shiwei genuinely cared about Jiang Nian. If it weren't for the special circumstances, he really wouldn't want Jiang Nian to take that risk again.
But he also knew that since Jiang Nian had already made his choice, there was nothing he could do but respect it.
"Don't worry, boss, I know what to do. I'll go to the hospital to check on Wang Ba first and see what's going on. If he doesn't wake up, we'll have to make other arrangements; we must have a backup plan."
Jiang Nian said to Gao Shiwei very seriously.
Since Gao Shiwei understood what he meant, there was no need to spell things out too clearly.
Wang Ba is now a key figure; he needs to live, and ideally, he should wake up.
Gao Shiwei didn't continue discussing the matter with Jiang Nian because he trusted Jiang Nian.
After leaving Gao Shiwei's office, Jiang Nian went directly to the military hospital.
In the ward, Wang Ba lay on the bed, fast asleep, completely unaware of anything, looking just like a vegetable.
Jiang Nian stood by the bed and stared at him for a long time before turning away.
"Comrade Jiang Nian, Wang Ba's condition is likely due to poisoning, but we haven't been able to detect the specific type of poison yet; it will take some more time."
Wang Ba's attending physician, Xu Ming, explained to Jiang Nian with a serious expression.
Xu Ming knew about Wang Ba's special identity when he was sent to the military hospital. It was precisely because of this that Xu Ming personally conducted various examinations on Wang Ba and finally came to this conclusion.
Jiang Nian nodded in agreement with Xu Ming's explanation. He had also guessed that it was poisoning.
If it weren't for the poisoning, Wang Ba wouldn't have been in a coma like this for so long.
As for the specific type of poison, we can only rely on Xu Ming and his team to investigate slowly.
"Wang Ba will stay with you for now. I'll leave everything to you, Dr. Xu. If Wang Ba shows any signs of waking up, or if you find out what poison he's been given, notify me immediately. Even if you can't save him, as long as you know what poison it is, I will try to find an antidote."
Finally, Jiang Nian solemnly said to Xu Ming.
Xu Ming nodded earnestly and agreed: "Don't worry, Comrade Jiang Nian, I'll contact you immediately if there's any news about Wang Ba."
There's no need for them to stay in the hospital any longer, since Wang Ba hasn't woken up yet. Xu Ming's research and testing of the toxins in Wang Ba's body will probably take a while.
Jiang Nian thought for a moment, then called He Chenguang and the others to say goodbye before returning to the repair company.
The repair company comrades were still training, so Jiang Nian went straight into his room without disturbing anyone.
Lying in the room that had initially made him feel warm, Jiang Nian fell into a deep sleep.
He was truly exhausted. Even with his body modified by the system, it couldn't withstand this kind of torment.
Jiang Nian slept for a whole day.
When he woke up, he looked at the ceiling above him and was a little dazed, not realizing for a moment where he was.
Jiang Nian only snapped out of his daze when he heard the familiar sounds of training outside the window.
He stretched and stood up. After sleeping for so long, his face was covered in stubble, making him look like a wild man.
Jiang Nian found it funny to think that he had actually described himself as a savage.
After washing up, Jiang Nian looked at his handsome face in the mirror and was quite satisfied.
Stepping out of the room, Jiang Nian saw that everyone was still training. The sound of them shouting slogans drifted over, and a smile crept onto his lips.
For him, this place is still the one that gives him the most peace of mind.
"Hey, Jiang Nian, you're back?"
Wei Siyuan walked over with the documents. He had come to look for someone else, but unexpectedly saw Jiang Nian.
You have to know that Jiang Nian is a very busy person. He is not in the repair company for 360 out of 365 days a year. Wei Siyuan has long been used to not seeing him.
As long as Jiang Nian's name is still on the repair company's name list, that's fine.
So when Wei Siyuan saw Jiang Nian, he was genuinely taken aback.
"Boss, I came back to take care of some things. I was so tired that I slept in my room for a whole day and night and just woke up."
Jiang Nian laughed, "I've recently taken on a big mission, boss, how about I get a big chicken leg?"
Upon seeing Wei Siyuan, an image of a large chicken leg suddenly flashed through Jiang Nian's mind. He walked over with a smile and said in a serious tone.
Wei Siyuan paused for a moment, then reached out and tapped Jiang Nian on the head: "You little rascal, you want extra food as soon as you get back. But you've been sleeping for quite a while. You didn't even say you were back. If you hadn't come out on your own, we wouldn't have known. Don't say I'll give you a big chicken leg, I'll give you two!"
Wei Siyuan still gave Jiang Nian face, and he was also happy that Jiang Nian was back, so he decided to give Jiang Nian two extra chicken legs.
It wasn't mealtime, but Jiang Nian's stomach was already rumbling after sleeping for so long. He didn't stand on ceremony, chatted briefly with Wei Siyuan, and then headed straight for the cafeteria. With his current status, getting an extra meal wouldn't be a problem.
Tang Xinyi came to the repair company again today.
She herself didn't understand why she kept coming here.
Perhaps it's because I keep thinking about that person in my dreams at night.
But that person is nowhere to be found now, or what they're busy with.
Several months have passed since I last saw Jiang Nian.
Tang Xinyi tried to ask Shi Tou what Jiang Nian was doing. But Shi Tou didn't have enough authority and had no idea what Jiang Nian was busy with.
Even Wei Siyuan, the company commander of the repair company, couldn't figure out Jiang Nian's whereabouts.
She came again and again with hope, imagining a chance encounter with Jiang Nian like before, but she never succeeded.
"Stone, I've come to see you again."
Just then, Shi Tou and the others finished training, and Tang Xinyi walked over, smiling at everyone, and said in a calm tone.
"Good morning, leader. You've come to see Comrade Jiang Nian again today? It's a pity that Comrade Jiang Nian didn't come back!"
Shi Tou knew why Tang Xinyi had come; every time she came, she would ask them about Jiang Nian. It was a pity, though, that they really had no idea what Jiang Nian was up to. (End of Chapter)
